PMI-PBA certification

How the PMI-PBA course relates to the certification

PMI-PBA is a professional business analysis certification awarded by PMI. Knowledge Train's PMI-PBA course is preparation for that certification rather than the certification itself. The course follows the PMI-PBA exam content outline and helps you study the domains, tasks and techniques that underpin the assessment.

Completing the Knowledge Train course does not award the PMI-PBA qualification or certification. You must arrange the exam directly with PMI and complete PMI's certification process separately.

No. The course fee covers Knowledge Train's self-paced exam preparation only. The PMI-PBA exam must be arranged and paid for directly with PMI.

No. Completing the course prepares you for the certification exam, but PMI awards the PMI-PBA certification only after you complete its required certification process.

The course is aligned with the PMI-PBA exam content outline and covers needs assessment, stakeholder engagement, elicitation and analysis, traceability and monitoring, solution evaluation, and exam preparation.

PMI-PBA is formally a professional certification from PMI. The term PMI-PBA qualification is also commonly used when people refer more generally to the credential. This course prepares you for the PMI-PBA certification exam.

You arrange the exam directly with PMI. Knowledge Train does not include the exam in the course or book it on your behalf.

No. Knowledge Train provides the exam preparation course. PMI is the organisation responsible for the PMI-PBA certification.
